You know for a fact that this discussion started in a thread that involved umpires writing scores down on lineup cards or some other game card. We argued, quite correctly in my opinion, that this is completely unnecessary. You agree with that and then stretch your version of the truth to assume that we have no clue whatsoever of the score, innings, etc.

HOW MANY COLLEGE UMPIRES do you think are unaware of situations?

Rich makes a very good point. I had a very tense game last week 4-3 and I never realized it was the 7th inning. I thought we had one more inning to play.

No big deal, I just really don't pay a lot of attention to the score or the inning either.

What was important is what was going on inside the fence.

We have a scorekeeper to handle all of the other stuff.

I know its important to know and anticipate what might be fixing to happen in the baseball game, but I dont see changing your positioning.

Then if they don't do what you are anticipating, you are then "out of position."

Thanks
